I did the un-teacher like thing and told him to watch the 1st 6 movies. I didn't think there was any way he was going to read the 6 books in time for the group project and I can't fathom trying to read Deathly Hallows and being able to analyze it for a project without having read/seen the 1st 6 parts of the series. The movies might not perfectly follow the books, but I figured he was still better off than trying to read that book blind and make any sense of it. Some series you can pick up in the middle and be fine. I think Deathly Hallows would have been confusing without the prior knowledge of the first 6 books.

I would have KILLED to have been able to read a Harry Potter book for a school project.

Best teacher ever.

Yup...teachers are the future.


Of contract killing.

Neville's background is awesome.

I might have to buy all of those posters to wallpaper my garage.

why does the sword look so tiny in Griphook's hands? it should look bigger since he's smaller than humans.

that poster bothers me. but other than that, they're pretty sweet. love the mcgonagall one.

There a few behind the scenes documentaries last night on the biography channel. You guys should keep an eye out for when they repeat.

Some of the stuff Columbus had to deal with in regards to the kids when he was directing the first films was interesting.
